In June, Wayne pleaded guilty in Yuma County to one felony drug possession charge related to a case when his tour bus was stopped at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint over two years ago. Cocaine, Ecstasy and a handgun were discovered by authorities, according to the AP.

Steve Hardy, Yuma County chief probation officer, said the artist’s case was moved to Florida, Wayne’s home state. As part of the conditions, Wayne has to refrain from drugs, alcohol and crime for three years.
